WORTH CONSUMING!
...are intertwined in this great, classic film noir. Forget anything you’ve thought about Fred MacMurray if your primary association with him My Three Sons or Disney. In this movie we get to see him go toe-to-toe with Barbara Stanwyck and win…and lose.
If you haven’t seen this Billy Wilder film because they’ve been lax about releasing it to DVD (there was a short release in the late 1990s, but they’re hard to come by…even Netflix doesn’t carry it), you’re missing out. Go ahead, rent it on VHS. It’s classic noir and worth every grainy image.

DVD
It’s been released now, and it’s pretty flippin’ sweet. There’s the normal version, and then there’s a 2 disc “Universal Legacy” edition, which features an intro by Robert Osborne, a 45-minute documentary on noir, two different audio commentary tracks by three film historians, the original theatrical trailer, and the 1973 TV remake.
